Awesome post, dude! Here I was thinking you were just a cheeky Aussie who likes a bit of crypto entrepreneurship and obstacle courses, but it turns out that you also have quite the creative and artistic side as well.
I definitely understand the thought on the age separation between yourself and the models trying to break into the business -- it's definitely tougher when you can't grow and evolve with the same core group of people.
Is interesting how big a part of what we think we enjoy about our hobbies and professions could actually be attributed to the social aspect of who we're getting to enjoy the journey with.
Very nice photos as well, I have to say. You definitely have a nice eye for detail and composition!
The good thing about being creative me artistic, is that you can always get back into it, and sometimes, it even just kind of bubbles up whether you want it to or not.
Thanks man! Hahaha, I mean, you weren't too far off the mark, I did have a creative side... but now life is all about pull ups and stuff.... but this platform man... it's bringing it all back!
It's such a shame modelling has such a short shelf-life. I don't know a single model that's still at it, it's a pretty rough line of work. I didn't really make many photographer friends, it's weird, we all have so much in common, but no real reason to chat. So while I was always excited to meet new peoples and create some photographic magic... there probably wasn't many people who even noticed I got out of town.
